Summary

The 56th Annual Sierra Trek is in the final stages, and we are happy to bring you our friend John Allen with some updates about the event and some information about the River.

Where does the four-wheel underground suspension shine more?

0:04.6

Creeping crawling on the Rubicon or going crazy fast out on Johnson Valley desert floor?

0:10.0

Yeah, good question.

0:11.4

It honestly does great in both scenarios.

0:13.7

Whether I'm going through the Rubicon or doing 50 to 60 miles an hour through washes at Johnson Valley,

0:18.6

it's really impressive what the suspension does. I think that

0:21.5

goes a lot to show how well it's engineered, how well the roll center is controlled, and how well the

0:27.3

geometry all goes together. No matter what I'm doing, I feel stable. I feel predictable. It's fantastic.

0:32.8

That makes a lot of sense because they are designed to be great on and off road. That's true. I do drive the

0:39.2

rig to and from the trails as well. And I noticed on tight, windy mountain roads, I don't feel like

1:23.6

and maybe even poking them a little bit of fun of Toyotas.

1:30.3

And, of course, hearing about how awesome Sierra Trek is in Toyotas, of course, because there's no other way to do Sierra Trek. Then this is the podcast for you. That's right, ladies

1:35.3

and germs. My name is Tyler. Joining me for another episode today is the one and only Mr. Jimmy

1:41.4

Jet and maybe somebody else. Maybe. Jimmy, how are you? I'm doing well.

1:48.5

Thank you for asking. Yeah, man. How are you doing? I'm doing pretty good. I was talking to somebody else.
